The HSE have outlined what to do if you see your child chokin after two toddlers died tragically in a matter of days.
A young boy choked to death on a piece of fruit at his family home In Cork on Wednesday, and another tragedy occurred just days before that after a child died following complications when eating food in a creche in Co Wicklow.
If a parent, sibling or a guardian notices a child starts coughing all of a sudden and is not ill, the HSE advises there's a good chance that they're choking. If they’re conscious or unresponsive they would need to call 112 or 999 immediately and call for an ambulance, however if they are conscious and not coughing, they would need to deliver first aid.
